Thanks David. Yes, those are good first steps to get started. Experience
shows that getting things running for Linux is the easiest part, thus
I'd suggest to start with that one first.

There is no need to have everything ready for all supported platforms to
get your PT integrated. It's fine to ship it for the alpha for some
platforms only to further shake out bugs and make it more robust. Thus,
don't hesitate to put things into review state early on.

Finally, don't hesitate as well to ask in #tor-dev or by mail or on the
trac ticket (I'll have it on my radar) in case you are stuck or are
running into issues, we are happy to help.

Georg
